Private Markets

Interest in private markets has grown rapidly among investors, particularly within an environment of low interest rates and market volatility. This is an investment category offering investors access to a spread of strategies, some of which may be relatively illiquid, but bring the potential for sustainable and enhanced returns, reduced volatility and tail-risk protection.

In addition to the ability of private market assets to enhance returns and reduce volatility, these types of investment assets often have low correlations with other asset classes, such as equities and bonds. This enables portfolios to be constructed which can mitigate sharp movements in these core asset classes.
